    i can do a hero/apprentice to butterfly easily, and i can tell you– i DEFINITELY can’t do the rockstar/butterfly combo…

    when i saw kyra do it again today, i realized that all your weight is hanging off your right arm– you are actually throwing your leg up and hooking it on your arm, not the pole– sort of like the allegra.

    She hooks her foot in the end on the pole, I thought, when she takes it out into extended butterfly, but to get up, yeah on her arm. I’d have to try it to see. I reckon you can totally do it, you’re so strong! I mean a controlled flag dismount?! Last time I tried Hero to Butterfly I was doing it on spin mode for some stupid reason, so that’s probably why I had trouble pulling into it. Heh. The Allegra is really hard on my leg, not the arm that’s holding my entire weight up. I do hook my leg over my arm to get back up, and that takes a bit of effort… but I have a huge bruise on my thigh the size of a city from the Allegra, but my arms and shoulders are fine https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif Every move will be harder for some in different areas, I guess. This is such an awesome combo!

    lol i can’t do ANYTHING on spin that involves being upside down https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_r.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_r.gif … so props to you! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

    hm, i dont think that the allegra is particularly hard per se– i mean, if you can do a one-handed spin you can hold yourself up, but i was pointing out the leg-hooking-on-the-arm thing because i didn’t realize that before, and i think it makes it easier to mentally break down the trick. but i agree, it looks awesome!

    What is a hero/apprentice amyxshi ? We actually did this rockstar to butterfly spin in our master class last week. But the instructor called it bow and arrow spin into the butterfly. It was very difficult to push up into the butterfly. Some of us were able to do it. But I felt and looked awkward. I’m gonna work on this to smooth it out.
